From nature to your ever-changing skin, with love
Pregnancy. Nursing. Postpartum. Pregnant again. Getting my first crow's foot. Freaking out. My skin's undergone more changes in the last five years than the cast of Saturday Night Live.

Body Sense - Perfect sense for every body.
I'm a strong, empowered woman, and I hate
asking for help, but...sometimes, I need help. Like when the
yogurt is pushed all the way back in the case at the store and
there's a baby strapped to my chest. Or when I'm trying to wade through all the bogus
claims on the internet about product safety and skincare products.

A baby cap with a little more to it
Over the past few years at Cool Mom Picks I've seen the reinvention of the high chair, the baby carrier, the baby bottle and the bouncy chair. The last newborn essential I thought needed any improvement was the baby hat.

Babywearing, now a nice new shade of green

Pure. Good. Purgood.

The real tooth fairy - keep away from open mouse traps
Only recently did I learn that the origins of the tooth fairy may come from a French fairy tale called The Good Little Mouse (La Bonne Petite Souris ) in which a fairy mouse convinces a mean prince to be nice so that his teeth will turn beautiful and white. Yes, it's a little weird. But aren't they all?

Sleep, my little valentine. Sleep.
There's no shortage of Valentine's Day attire for little girls, but when it comes to boys, it's pretty slim pickings. And I get it. Dressing a boy in a rose-colored heart shirt is a tough sell, even if there is a Spiderman on it too.
